Performance and application of 2.4360 stainless steel hollow structural profiles 2024-9-27
Performance of 2.4360 stainless steel hollow structural profiles (AISI 904L)

Corrosion Resistance: – Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride environments (e.g. seawater).
– Highly resistant to oxidation, reducing the risk of rust under harsh conditions.

Mechanical Properties: – High tensile strength and yield strength, making it suitable for load-bearing applications.
– Good ductility and toughness, allowing deformation without breaking.

Weldability: – Excellent solderability and can be easily fabricated and connected using standard soldering techniques.
– Low carbon content reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding.

Temperature resistance: – Maintains mechanical properties at high temperatures, suitable for applications in high temperature environments.

Hygienic performance: – Non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth, making it ideal for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Application of 2.4360 stainless steel hollow structural profiles

Marine Applications: – Shipbuilding: Used in hulls, decks and structural components due to its resistance to sea water.
– Offshore Platforms: Ideal for drilling machines and structures exposed to the marine environment.

Chemical Processing: – Storage tanks: used to store corrosive chemicals, including acids and corrosives.
– Piping system: suitable for transporting corrosive fluids in chemical plants.

Oil and Gas Industry: – Refineries: for piping and structural supports that are often exposed to harsh chemicals.
– Drilling machine: ideal for parts requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.

Food and Beverage Industry: – Processing equipment: for mixers, tanks and conveyors where hygiene is critical.
– Piping systems: used in food processing to prevent contamination.

Pharmaceutical industry: – Manufacturing equipment: suitable for reactors, storage tanks and piping systems with high hygiene standards.

Architectural Applications: – Structural elements: supporting structures, balustrades and facades used in modern buildings.
– Decorative properties: Can be used for aesthetic applications due to its fine surface finish.

Generation: – Cooling system: applied to parts exposed to corrosive cooling water and fumes.

Wastewater treatment: – Tanks and pipes: used in wastewater treatment systems, often exposed to corrosive chemicals.

2.4360 stainless steel hollow structural profiles offer superior performance in a variety of challenging environments, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across a variety of industries.
